I’m really honored (and a little stunned) to be named to @outmagazine ’s 2025 OUT100 List.

This honor isn’t just about me — it’s about all of us who keep showing up anyway. Who keep loving anyway. Who keep believing that a different kind of world is possible.

Pastor's book 'Queer & Christian' is about more than LGBTQ acceptance In the new book Queer & Christian, author and pastor Brandan Robertson makes the case for reclaiming the bible, faith and the church for LGBTQ+ people.

"When deciding what to call his new book Queer & Christian: Reclaiming the Bible, Our Faith, and Our Place at the Table, Brandan Robertson knew the word queer would provoke."

God does not want to change your sexuality or gender identity. God made each of us, in all our diversity, in God’s image and likeness. –Brandan Robertson (Queer & Christian, 2025)

Finally got around to ordering @brandanrobertson.bsky.social new book. Looking forward to this fresh take that, from first appearances, moves us from a merely defensive stance to full reclamation, embrace, and celebration.

Pastor's book 'Queer & Christian' is about more than LGBTQ acceptance within churches In the new book Queer & Christian, author and pastor Brandan Robertson makes the case for reclaiming the bible, faith and the church for LGBTQ+ people.

Honored to have my new book profiled on NPR today, where I explain why it’s important for queer people not to just be affirmed by the church, but for the church to be queered.

Photo of me with a big goofy grin holding up a copy of the book "Queer & Christian" by Brandan Robertson. The cover is off-white with black text except the author's name near the bottom, which is blue, and the title at the top, the words of which are in a rainbow gradient superimposed over a large yellow ampersand.

My copy of "Queer & Christian" by @brandanrobertson.bsky.social arrived in today's mail! I'm looking forward to diving in, and perhaps heading to one or more stops on his book tour. 🤗
